  • BOS Right Fielder #17

    Tyler O’Neill homered twice to help the Red Sox to a win over the White Sox on Saturday.
    O’Neill smacked a two-run shot off Garrett Crochet in the first, and hit a solo blast off Enyel De Los Santos in the fifth. That gives the powerful right-handed hitter 27 homers in his first year as a member of the Red Sox, and he also singled to raise his average to .258. The latter number isn’t terribly impressive, but it’s a very passable number when you hit for power like O’Neill does.
  • TB Relief Pitcher #38

    Forrest Whitley threw five shutout innings while allowing just two hits for Triple-A Durham on Saturday.
    The 27-year-old struck out nine and walked two on the day while throwing 53 of his 78 pitches for strikes. Since Whitley has moved into the starting rotation in Durham, he has a 1.98 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and 23/3 K/BB ratio in 13 2/3 innings. It’s a small sample size, but perhaps the Rays have figured out a pitch mix that will work for Whitley. Now if only they can find a way to also keep him healthy.
    Jones' power production can't be ignored
    James Schiano evaluates the potential of New York Yankees top prospect Spencer Jones, explaining why the 24-year-old outfielder's power production can't be ignored as he's compiled 29 home runs in the minors this season.
  • SF 1st Baseman #88
    Bryce Eldridge went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run, and four RBI for Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
    It was the 20-year-old’s fourth home run in the last six games, but he is hitting just .237/.318/.579 in July after missing almost a month with a hamstring strain. The Giants will likely keep Eldridge at Triple-A and try to get Rafael Devers more reps at first base, but the team is only two games over .500 and slipping out of the playoff race, so there’s a chance their top prospect will get MLB at-bats later this summer.
  • COL 1st Baseman
    Rockies 1B/3B prospect Kyle Karros went 2-for-4 with a solo home run for Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
    Karros, the son of former Dodgers’ first baseman Eric Karros, was promoted to Triple-A a little over a week ago, so this is his first home run at the level. On the season, Karros is hitting .297/.401/.460 in 67 games at Double-A and Triple-A with five home runs, 24 RBI, seven steals, and a 54/39 K/BB ratio. He could push to be the team’s starting first baseman in 2026.
  • ATL Starting Pitcher #75
    Braves RHP prospect Didier Fuentes allowed one run on two hits in five innings for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
    Fuentes also struck out nine and walked only one while throwing 50 of his 82 pitches for strikes. It’s important to remember that Fuentes just turned 20 years old in June, so even though he looked overmatched in his first big league innings, his career arc is far from written. He may get another shot in Atlanta later this summer.
  • BAL 1st Baseman #6
    Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring) went 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
    Mountcastle has gone 6-for-12 with a home run and three RBI on his rehab assignment and may be close to getting activated. The 28-year-old has one year of arbitration left, so it remains unclear if Baltimore will try to shop him at the deadline or keep him as their starting first baseman if/when they trade Ryan O’Hearn.
  • BAL Outfield
    Orioles OF prospect Dylan Beavers went 2-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base, and two runs scored for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
    The 23-year-old is hitting .284/.448/.567 in July with five home runs, 12 RBI, three steals, and a 13/18 K/BB ratio. He has 21 steals on the season to go along with a .303 average and .912 OPS. There is a good chance he’ll be starting in the outfield for Baltimore by next week.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #58
    Paul Blackburn (shoulder) allowed one run on five hits in 6 1/3 innings for Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
    This is Blackburn’s second straight solid start in Triple-A, striking out six, walking one, and throwing 56 of his 87 pitches for strikes. There is no clear spot for him in the Mets’ rotation right now, and the team is reportedly looking to add starting pitching at the deadline, so it’s unclear what role Blackburn may have for the remainder of the season. Perhaps the Mets could trade him to a team in need of back-end rotation depth.
  • Christian Encarnacion-Strand went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run for Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
    The 25-year-old is hitting just .232/.259/.464 in July with four home runs, 13 RBI, and a 15/1 K/BB ratio. With no clear spot for him at the big league level, you have to wonder if the Reds would be willing to trade Encarnacion-Strand at the deadline to land a player like Luis Robert Jr. or other outfielders they have been linked to.
  • ATL Starting Pitcher #12
    Erick Fedde will start for the Braves on Tuesday against the Royals.
    Fedde was acquired from the Cardinals on Sunday night after being designated for assignment following a 5.22 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 20 starts this season. It had been thought that Braves pitching prospect Hurston Waldrep would be called up to start on Tuesday, but that does not appear to be the plan as of now.
  • BOS 2nd Baseman #28
    Kristian Campbell went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
    Campbell has been working on his swing at Triple-A, in addition to learning how to play first base, and it appears that things may be starting to click of late. The 23-year-old is now riding an eight-game hitting streak and is slashing .407/.484/.667 since July 19th. It’s unlikely that the Red Sox use Campbell at second base with Marcelo Mayer (wrist) sidelined, so there may not be an immediate opening for him at the big league level, but the team would love to get his bat going regardless.
